“We legally can’t keep out every poor kid, so we need to make sure to hurt any that get through”
Students are only allowed to purchase 1 ice cream and are not permitted to buy an ice cream for a friend.
Absolutely deranged. The hyper-individualism is just beaten into you over there huh
I hope there is some totally chad student:
I purchased one ice cream and gave it to him.
You aren’t allowed to give your ice cream to a friend!
He’s not my friend.
Buying school supplies is something I haven’t thought about for so long that it never occurred to me that it’s unusual or that there’s a better way to distribute school supplies.
What’s even more nuts is that this goes for teachers, too. It’s skilled labor, requiring years of college, in demand practically everywhere; yet the pay is shit and part of it has to go to stocking your classroom.
Meanwhile, the school board members just voted themselves each a new, fully-paid SUV.
The only problem with that is if people have other needs. I.e. in terms of different paper or texture feelings etc. However this, too, is easier when you know the standard and can see if that fits you.
This would be a good opening paragraph in a dystopian YA novel.
Note from editor: This is too on the nose and not believable for our target audience, we are aiming at young adults, not pre schoolers, who would believe that dystopian societies would limit the buying and exchanging/sharing of ice cream. This only works if you mention that the evil regime is socialist.
